Kentaro Miura is a very respected mangaka for his work on Berserk. While it isn't one of my favorite series, it's hard to deny that the story and art are top notch. Guts is one of the most well developed protagonists of all time, and the rest of the characters aren't too far behind. While I do question Miura's willingness to kill off 99% of his cast, I won't deny the action had me at the edge of my seat.
Unfortunately, it seems like Berserk may never end. Apparently, Miura has become so obsessed with Idol Master and Nico Nico (Japanese equivalent of Youtube) that he has decided to give up his life as a mangaka. As this story may not be true (it is close to April Fools day after all), this news must be devastating for long time fans. If true, it is very sad a man is willing to give up what he has been doing for more than 20 years just to play a video game and watch videos for the rest of his life.
Hopefully Miura will come back to his senses soon. I want to see what happened to Guts > : (
